"Here's to new beginnings," I whispered, kissing Liam's forehead. "And to our incredible family."

He smiled, pulling me close. "To us, Theo. Always together."

With that, I drifted off to sleep, feeling grateful for the journey we had embarked on and excited for the adventures that awaited us. Graduation was not just an end but a new beginning—one that we would embrace together as a family.

Theo's Pov

The sun peeked through the curtains, casting soft rays of light across the room as I stirred awake. I blinked a few times, momentarily disoriented, before my eyes fell on the clock. It was just after 7:00 AM. I took a moment to enjoy the stillness of the morning before I realized that Parker was starting to stir in her crib.

"Hey there, sleepyhead," I whispered, gently nudging Liam. He grunted in response, clearly not yet ready to face the day.

"Parker's awake," I said softly, but I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. I loved mornings like this, where the promise of a new day felt fresh and exciting.

Liam sighed but finally opened his eyes, a slow smile forming as he caught sight of me. "Mornings and babies," he muttered playfully. "The perfect combination for sleep deprivation."

"Come on, you know you love it," I replied, playfully shoving him. "Plus, she's the cutest alarm clock ever."

With a reluctant chuckle, Liam sat up and rubbed his eyes. "All right, let's go rescue our little princess."

We made our way to Parker's nursery, where the soft sounds of her babbling filled the air. She was lying in her crib, her tiny hands waving in the air as she looked up at the mobile above her, a happy grin on her face.

"Good morning, Parker!" I said brightly, lifting her into my arms. "Did you sleep well?"

"Looks like someone's in a good mood," Liam added, leaning over to kiss her forehead.

Parker cooed happily, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. I loved the way she lit up whenever we entered the room. It was a little reminder of how much joy she brought into our lives.

"Let's get her changed and fed," I suggested, glancing at the clock. "She usually gets pretty hungry around this time."

As we went through the morning routine, I felt a sense of rhythm develop—diaper changes, quick cuddles, and then settling into the rocking chair to nurse her. Parker nursed eagerly, and I could feel the warmth and comfort of our connection.

"How's she doing?" Liam asked, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed.

"She's perfect," I said, glancing up at him. "Just like her dad."

Liam grinned, clearly pleased with the compliment. "I love hearing that."

Holding Parker close, I marveled at how much she had grown. Just three months ago, she had been so small and fragile. Now she was a vibrant little person with a personality that was starting to shine through.

After Parker finished nursing, I gently burped her and felt a wave of happiness wash over me. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have both Liam and Parker in my life. They were my world.

"Do you think she's ready for some tummy time?" Liam suggested, moving closer to us.

"Definitely," I replied, feeling excited about helping her develop new skills. "Let's set her up on the play mat."
